$ ./configure --help

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install files in PREFIX [/usr/local]
  --local                 don't install, and use current directory

Well, really depends. I for one have to maintain some toolchains, test new
versions and/or settings, so it is nice to have crosstool-NG being acutally
installed, so I can simplu get rid of the build dirs with a simple 'rm -rf'
once I'm done with the current tests... It is also the case for a bunch of
other guys as well.

But sure, for a one-off toolchain build, actual install is probably
overkill, hence the --local switch.
